Gonzales et al Ongoing Clinical Trials in ICH S71 patients with ICH in a clinical trial targeting expansion may dilute the treatment effect of recombinant factor VIIa. In addition, patients who may not have HE and, thus, would not be expected to benefit from hemostatic therapy are also at risk of thromboembolic complication of treatment, further reducing any measurable benefit of treatment. The challenges of clinical trials evaluating hemostatic agents include the well-known time limitation for treatment and identification of patients who are most likely to have HE. At this time, the most promising way to identify the subgroup of patients most likely to have HE is with a radiographic marker, the spot sign. The spot sign refers to an area of contrast extravasation within the hematoma seen on computed tomography angiography. 17 The spot sign has recently been prospectively validated as a predictor of HE in the Prediction of hematoma growth and outcome in patients with ICH using the CT-angiography spot sign (PREDICT) study. 18 There are currently 2 ongoing clinical trials using the spot sign to identify patients at highest risk of HE and, thus, most likely to benefit from hemostatic therapy: The Spot Sign for Predicting and Treating ICH Growth (STOP-IT) study19 and the “Spot Sign” Selection of ICH to Guide Hemostatic Therapy (SPOTLIGHT) study. 20Target: Secondary Injury
